Eastman Tritan™ EX501 Copolyester
Categories:	Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyester, TP
Material Notes:	Product Description: Tritan™ EX501 is an amorphous copolyester specifically developed for the Infant Care market. Its most outstanding features are consistent glass-like clarity even after multiple dishwasher cycles. Additionally, Tritan™ EX501 exhibits low taste and odor retention versus cPP, excellent drop impact resistance, and dishwasher durability. Tritan™ EX501 contains a mold release derived from vegetable based sources. Tritan™ EX501 meets infant care sterilization requirements via boiling water or microwave steam sterilization. This new-generation copolyester can also be molded into various applications without incorporating high levels of residual stress. Combined with Tritan™ copolyester's outstanding chemical resistance and hydrolytic stability, these features give molded products enhanced durability in the dishwasher environment, which can expose products to high heat, humidity, and aggressive cleaning agents. Tritan™ EX501 can be converted into parts using injection molding, injection stretch blow molding (ISBM), and extrusion blow molding techniques. Tritan™ EX501 copolyester may be used in repeated-use food contact articles under United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. Contact an Eastman representative for details on global food contact regulatory clearances. Eastman Tritan™ EX501 copolyester is included in Eastman Chemical Company’s Customer Notification Procedure which details our policy for customer notification when significant changes are made in Tritan™ EX501 sold into the infant care market. This procedure provides the infant care industry an added layer of confidence in the consistent quality and performance of Tritan.
